ACT I
Overture
When maiden loves
Tower warders under orders
When our gallant Norman foes
Alas I waiver to and fro
Is life a boon?
Here’s a man of jollity
I have a song to sing, O!
How say you maiden, will you wed
I’ve jibe and joke
‘Tis done, I am a bride
Were I thy bride

FINALE, ACT I
Oh, Sergeant Meryll is it true?
Didst thou not, oh, Leonard Meryll!
To thy fraternal care
The pris'ner comes to meet his doom
My lord! my lord!

ACT II
Night has spread her pall once more
Oh, a private buffoon is a light hearted loon
Hereupon we’re both agreed
Free from his fetters grim
Strange adventure
Hark! What was that sir?
Like a ghost his vigil keeping
A man who would woo a fair maid
When a wooer goes a wooing

FINALE
Comes the pretty young bride
Hold, pretty one!
Oh thoughtless crew!
